Overview
Peperomia caperata 'Red Luna' is a compact houseplant grown for its richly coloured, deeply textured foliage. The heart-shaped leaves emerge in shades of deep burgundy to red with a distinctive rippled surface, creating year-round colour and interest without relying on flowers.
Its naturally compact habit makes it an excellent choice for shelves, desks, coffee tables and windowsills where space is limited. Like many peperomias, it is easy to care for and adapts well to typical indoor conditions, making it suitable for both experienced plant enthusiasts and beginners.

Growing Guide
Watering
Allow the top layer of compost to dry slightly before watering. Reduce watering during winter when growth naturally slows, and avoid leaving the plant sitting in water.
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally sufficient, although it also appreciates the naturally higher humidity found in bright bathrooms.
Feeding
Feed monthly with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during spring and summer.
Maintenance
Remove any ageing leaves as needed and wipe the foliage occasionally to keep it free from dust. Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound.
